Problem IC69776
|
Status: Closed |
REMOVE DEPENDENCY ON LIBSTREAM.SO FROM LIBDB2.SO |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
There are two different C++ libraries. One is classic (older
one). The other is standard (newer one). Per HP, no executable
should be dependent on both libraries. HP warns that the result
of mixing them includes unexpected failure.
Although DB2 is built with the standard C++ library, it was
found that libdb2.so, the client side library of DB2, is still
linked with libstream.so, one of the classic C++ libraries.
Through the fix for this APAR, libstream.so will be removed.
Note that libdb2.so itself doesn't use any symbol from
libstream.so. In other words, the warning posed by HP does not
apply to DB2 itself.
Important Note: If an application, which links with libdb2.so,
somehow references any symbol in the classic C++ library, and if
it had been accessing them via libdb2.so in the past, it won't
be able to access them after applying the fix for this APAR.
The correct action is to fix the application to remove any
dependency on the classic C++ library. |

| Solution |
First fixed in DB2 9.7 Fixpack 3.
Assuming the customer's application is built correctly (i.e. no
dependency on libstream.so), there will be no change. |
